Finding Grace at the Center (3rd Edition): The Beginning of Centering Prayer

I became involved in Centering Prayer after reading Thomas Keating, OSB. To me, Keating is all about the psychology of centering and one can get lost in his theory and diagrams. I read Pennington in the 80's and rediscovered him while searching for other books and approaches to Contemplative Prayer and Centering. Pennington had a way of sharing on a very intimate level and is books are a wonderful collection of his life and personal journey of faith. Basil Pennington, OSB is a must read for anyone interested in the Contemplative Prayer/Centering movement it is a much warmer and easier read than some of the books written by Keating on the subject.

Helped me to understand some aspects of centering prayer and to see some different expressions and points of this method

This author is another Trappist Priest who brings to light the deep treasures of a faith in Jesus, the Christ, Lord and Savior! And once again, thanks to Amazon.com for my ability to purchase at a reasonable price.

this is a wonderful book -- great for Catholic Christians and other Christian demoninations. A wonderful guide for being present with the Lord and saying yes to God

Just what I was looking for. A great compliment to the other book I bought "The Mystery of Christ - the Liturgy as Spiritual Experience"

If you are interested in a deeper relationship with Jesus, this book is it.

Not as informative as I thought it would be.

This volume inspires, giving the reader holy and practical advice on practice that will improve the soul, the heart, and the mind. One of the Keating classics and a must read.

This book is a compilation of three peoples views on Centering prayer. Parts of the book were a bit deep others very similar to previous books and articles that 8 have read. As a participant in centering prayer I found this book a little bit of a let down.
